Life Lately: September 2014

Why hello hello fashionistas!

I haven't been on the blogosphere in what feels like eons, but really has only been about a month and a half. The problem with blogging is that every time I start to think maybe I should just be done I realize that I want nothing more than to have the time to dedicate to this little corner of the internet. 

I'm not sure who even bothers stopping by to check out Glamorous Girl 2014 who never posts, but if anyone out there is still checking in on me just know that I feel your love. 

Since I have been too busy lazy and full of excuses to post I figured I might as well update ya'll on what I have been up to. 

Here's the latest little gem I have purchased from my lovely place of employment. This bag is called the Loryn. I'm completely obsessed with the soft pink and berry color. The zig-zagging detail is what really made me fall head over heels for this bag. I had to have it because I know it will be perfect for fall and I'm sure I'll use it all the way through February (hello isn't this the best valentine's day bag ever?!). I just love me some Kate Spade. 

Stuffing my face with pizza. Obviously I have been so busy eating. No, but seriously I have been eating a lot. Good thing I'm still hitting the gym on the regular to combat the calories. I have been zumba-ing with my mom a few times a week and I'm getting back  into running and weights. 

A little calculator shot to show that I'm busy with school. I'm doing pretty well in all of my classes. I've gotten A's on all my tests except for a B on my first accounting test. I'm making friends, which I'm happy about because the first couple of weeks were tough not having anyone to chat with or compare homework with.

Even though I have been making friends I have been spending a lot of time missing my lovely ladies. Just a little throwback to February-March of this year when we took a little road trip. 

Oh yes, more food pictures. I'm pretty sure I'm no longer a fashion blogger, but more of a food blogger. I picked up sushi to go with my sister after work the other night. Note the every so glamorous cheetah nightgown, gotta love Victoria's Secret sleep tees. 

Selfie for my new haircut.. Which in reality was a trim and I had her add some layers because it was looking heavy. I'm happy that it's finally "fall" (it's still 85 degrees and 90% humidity in FL, but whatever) because I can bust out my vampy lip colors. I'm wearing Hourglass "Nocturnal" in this picture, one of my favorite lipsticks ever. 

This weekend I'm taking a little road trip with my sister because I spontaneously bought the two of us tickets to see One Direction tomorrow! I literally bought them last Friday on the fly because I could get two seats for a reasonable price and I knew she would freak out!

I hope you guys are all doing splendidly and I really hope I can keep my booty posting on here. There is something so cathartic about reflecting on your life and typing away. Okay, I'm off to go do homework and laundry before class tonight. 

Loads of love!

Kate Spade Purchase

Hello fashionistas!

Savannah here. Savannah who has been more than absent on the blogosphere.. House sitting, vacationing, and working has really made this girl busy! I wanted to share an exciting new purchase that I recently made with you all. 

I just bought my first Kate Spade purse. This is the Caden in the color Brightest. I started working at Kate Spade a little over a month ago and I had been eyeing this for all of my shifts. I'm so glad that I bought it! It's a great bag and is perfect for summer. 

I want to piece together a vacation post to share all of my cruise photos with you guys, hopefully I'll get around to it later this week.

I hope you guys are well!

Loads of love!

Life Lately: Work, Friends, and Shopping.

Hello fashionistas!

I have not updated in awhile because life has been crazy busy! My face has finally healed up after my wisdom teeth surgery and I no longer have chubby swollen cheeks. I have recently started a new job working at Kate Spade! I absolutely love it and I really love their bags. I can't wait to buy my first one. 

I'm also nannying part time for a few kids, so my life has been go go go. Anyways, here are a few pictures of what I have been up to for the past couple of days.

My girls and I decided to do a beach day, but we also decided to order a huge pizza to take with us. Nothing like carbs, cheese, and bikinis. 

Here's a little beach selfie. I've spent all my days off last week at the beach. Literally four days in a row soaking up the sun, with SPF of course! 

Victoria and I went shopping the other day and I picked up this little bikini at Marshalls. It's a Vince Camuto and I just love the colors. 

I just bought this top and necklace from Kate Spade. I had my eyes on this necklace all last week when I was working and I had to buy it! 

My best friend, Lily, had her 18th birthday yesterday! Hence the silly party hat! I bought her a Kate Spade bag for her to tote around all her stuff when she leaves for college in the fall. I'm staying here and finishing up my AA at the local state college and then hopefully transferring to the same university. 

Birthday bae! My mom made an Oreo cheesecake for her. The cake was sinfully delicious and had a whole pack of Oreos in it. 

Today is my only day not nannying or working so I'm having another beach day with my boyfriend. Oh yeah, the boyfriend is also another new thing that's taking up my time. Overall, I'm very happy and running on lots of coffee while I be-bop around. 

I hope you all are doing well and enjoying the summer! 

Loads of love!

Saturday Shopping

Hello fashionistas!

This weekend and last weekend I spent some time shopping and wanted to share the new items I procured with you all.

 I was voted Best Dressed for our senior superlatives and I found out that pictures are this week, so I "had" to go shopping.. Or I used it as an excuse to go shopping- same thing right? I ended up buying this dress from Forever 21 to wear for the picture. I like the pattern, structured fit in the top, subtle shimmer within the fabric, and the cut out back. 

I bought this bracelet from Dillards to wear with the dress. I plan on pairing it with black peep toe slingbacks. 

I went to Old Navy last weekend and they were still having their 75% sale and naturally I had to capitalize on that little gem of a deal. I bought this top for $7. Ridiculously cheap and is a top that I can wear now and can pair with shorts for summertime. 

This top is also from Old Navy and I picked it up for $8. I love stripes and sheer tops, so this obviously was a must buy. I also bought a pair of teal corduroy skinny jeans for $8 and a pair of green pointed flats, but I am currently washing the pants and forgot to photograph the shoes! Oops. Gotta love a good sale.

I bought this top from Hollister because I had a giftcard for that store. I love baseball tees and I feel like they will be on trend again for 2014. This is super cute because of the feminine sequin pocket. 

This top is also from Hollister. I liked the lace like texture on the bust region and the color of the top. 

I hope you all have had a great weekend. I spent yesterday morning doing yoga and drinking coffee with my best friend. After that I went shopping with my boyfriend and watched a few movies. Today has been spent bumming around, doing laundry, and grabbing lunch with my best friend. I'm off to go get ready for a bonfire birthday party.

Have you guys done any shopping lately? Loads of love!

Weekend Wrap Up

Hello fashionistas!

This weekend was full of good times and I have the pictures to prove it! I wanted to give you all a weekend wrap up because I like to share what I do with my friends and family. A look at who I am outside of my clothing and makeup choices! 

Up top you will see my girl Kali and I cheesin' with our sushi. I wish I had gotten a picture our other friend, Jenna. She was busy taking the pictures, thanks girly!The bottom pictures are my delicious sushi (also I did not eat alllll of it, I ordered too much) and my excellent parallel parking job. I am a horrible at parking and felt very accomplished with my parking! 

My momma and I went to get our nails done and sported matching maxi dresses. We then went out for a tasty Mexican dinner; I ordered a shrimp quesadilla. We went to the mall afterwards and I found this Nike shirt. I am making such a stupid face because I have been saying that phrase for the past two weeks and had to send this picture to my friends. I bought a few things at JCP and the Loft. Jeans were on sale for $35 per pair and I got in on that sweet deal. 

I am thinking of attending homecoming this year and I really liked these two dresses. Which one do you think I should go with? Obviously I would not wear flip-flops with either dress! (; 

 Here are closeups on both of the dresses. Help me pick one! 

I spent today working out and studying during the morning. I then went to a neighbor's Pampered Chef party- super fun and really good food! After that I ran errands with my mom.

What did you all do this weekend? Hope you all spent it surrounded by the people you love.

Back to School Shopping

Hello fashionistas!

Last week I tweeted that I had a very successful day of shopping and I thought that I would share what I purchased with you all! 

I bought these from Forever 21. The top was on sale for only $12. I love the gem peter pan color! All of my blazers/jackets are way too big, so I bought one to layer over sleeveless tops/dresses. Oh and anything else I want to layer it with (;

I bought this cardigan at the Loft. The Loft is my favorite store ever. I love this coral-pink color and the best part was that it was on major sale for $12. 

These items are from H&M. I couldn't pass up on a cute abstract polka dot dress. The olive green and lace top compimented my skin tone well, so I had to buy it! I picked up another black tee shirt (you can't tell from the picture, but there is a little square pocket on it).

I actually bought this top in hot pink, but the website did not have it! I would have photographed the top, but it is very wrinkly from being in the bag.

I bought these jeans from Old Navy for a mere $19! They are the "Sweetheart" jeans and they are fuller in the thighs and smaller in the waist. They were a perfect fit!

The flats to the left are from Target (clearance section, baby) and the flats on the left are Rock & Republic for Kohl's. These were also on sale. 

I redeemed my fragrance sampler deal for Warm Cotton by Clean. I love this scent; it is super crisp and refreshing. I decided that I should stop borrowing my mom's BareMinerals Faux Tan and buy my own! This bronzer gives the most natural finish I have ever found! I highly recommend it. 

Have you guys bought any new clothes or beauty products lately? 

I am not ready for school to start on Monday. Can it just be summer forever?

Alright, I have to go work on my current mission.. AKA finish my last essay for school.

Food, Friends, Fun.

Hello fashionistas!

I have a somewhat random all over the place post tonight. 

With my my mom being gone I have taken over role of chef (and the one who cleans). I whipped up some veggie quiches the other night and some taaaaasty muffins that I found via Pinterest. They were the most delectable muffins I have had in a long long long time. Janie from Janies' Kitchen originally used a doughnut pan for hers, but I didn't have that, hence the muffins. Click here to be taken to the recipe. 

Down by the bay. Sorry the photo quality is kinda meh. 

My best friend, Lily, officially moved back to Florida yesterday!!! Excitement levels are through the roof. We went out to dinner and walked around downtown. We also bought overpriced popsicles. Obviously a must- my flavor was Pistachio Coconut and it was SO GOOD. Lily got some kind of papaya mango popsicle (I thought mine was better.. Just sayin'). 

My hair was so much more voluminous before we walked around in the haaawtttt Florida humidity. 

Before I left to pick her up for dinner I obviously had to snap a selfie. Duh, what else? 

I swear I really do not take that many selfies.. Most of them are dumb faces being sent in response to texts.. #Ipromise

I have been volunteering all week at a kids' art camp and afterwards I have been hitting the gym. Then I went and picked up Lily to run errands. We went to Bath and Body Works where I practiced extreme self control and only bought one lotion. We then went to Target and got POURED ON. While I was driving a mini hurricane brewed and sprayed us with rain. I kid not when I say my jeans and top were completely soaked. I looked like a soggy cat. And this was with an umbrella. Lily tried on these pants that were multicolored and huuuuge on her. The pants reminded me of MC Hammer pants and gave me quite a laugh!

I ended buying these shorts even though I hate showing off my thighs. Probably will wear them to a friends' 4th of July partaaay. 

That is all. 

Anyways, I'm glad my second family is back! I have to get to bed soon because I have to be up at 7 to get ready to volunteer. Hope you guys are doing well! Happy almost weekend!

Summer Shopping

Hello fashionistas!

Over the past few weeks I have picked up a few new things. Losing weight means my clothes are way too big! Anyways, here is what I have purchased. 

This is a gorgeous hi-lo dress from Kohl's in the Simply Vera Vera Wang line. I had tried this dress on in a medium when it was full price and a little tight across the chest. I went back a month and a half later, found it, tried it on, and it fit like a glove! Plus it was over half off- steal! I cannot wait to wear this.

This is also from Kohls you can buy it here. I love having a simple LBD to throw on during summer. Easily dressed up with jewelry and heels or dressed down with a sunhat and sandals. 

This was also from Kohl's and it is the softest material ever. It reminds me of a yoga pant skirt.. Which is the epitome of comfort, soooo obviously it had to be purchased. I will probably pair this with a black v-neck and gladiators. Plus some sassy aviators. 

This top is from Target and it was on major sale- only seven bucks! I love wearing cobalt with a tan! 

This bodycon skirt is from Target and was also on major sale for a mere ten dollars. I love the turquoise and navy stripes. I wore this out to dinner last night; I will post an outfit of the day this weekend!

I purchased two bikini tops while at Target. I have lost enough weight that I feel confident enough to wear one, but I plan on wearing them with a swim skirt because I'm not ready to go completely bare! 

These are really comfortable.

Have you guys purchased any new clothing? 

I'm off to go help my mom pack; she is leaving for Michigan tomorrow for TWO WEEKS. Sadness. 

I will miss her so much.

Have a great weekend!

Haul! Forever 21, the Loft, New York and Company!

Hello fashionistas!

Due to the load of time I have spent at the gym I have dropped a size, so this weekend my mom and I did some shopping. I just wanted to get a few new things to hold me over while I continue to lose more weight (I'm hoping to drop down another 2-3 sizes). 

Anyways, I just wanted to share what I got with you all. I really have not gone clothing shopping in a few months (besides a shirt that I bought at the Loft). 

I wanted a new pair of silver hoops and F21 had a trio of earrings for a mere $2.80. The studs looked like a simple, but interesting pair of earrings, so I also got these. I really liked F21's bold, turquoise bangle for a statement bracelet. The last bracelet is a really cool magnetic bracelet that I found at Loft for a mere $7!

I actually just got a job hostessing at a local sushi restaurant, so I needed to pick up a few black shirts. I thought this shirt would be comfortable and work appropriate, but the gems on the side added a little pop of personality. This was from Forever 21.

This shirt was also a work purchase, I love the pleated detail on the front. This shirt is also from Forever 21.

I wanted to pick up another pair of yoga/workout pants and these pants from F21 were only $11.80. I wanted to pick up two cheap tank-tops while I was at F21.

This blouse is from the Loft. I love the flowy-ness of the shirt and the falling petals. Also the magenta color is so pretty! The Loft had a sale on the sale items making them an additional 50% off, aka a majorly good deal!

This was also from the Loft and also for my new job. The top has a tie on the front, but my picture doesn't really do it justice. 

I bought this top at the Loft because I love love love the bright coral color. The lace-like texture down the middle is so feminine!

This shirt was from the Loft and was incredibly soft. I love the neon pink mixed with the heather grey; I will definitely pair this with a statement necklace. 

New York and Company had sunglasses on sale for a mere $5, so I could not resist the good deal.

Who doesn't love cheap sunnies? I justify this purchase because normally one pair would be like $20.. 

Don't judge me ( ;

Have you guys bought anything new lately? 

Hope you're all have a wonderful week! I'm off to go dance the night away in Zumba.
